Red Gate Campground and RV Resort, August 8 to 14, 2018

Rating:  5 on a scale of 5

Location: This park had great on-line reviews, so when we decided to spend a week in Savannah, we decided to stay here. Located on a 200-acre farm and seemingly secluded, it is only about 6.5 miles to the Savannah Historic District. It was perfect for our stay.

Lot size: We had one of the best RV sites in the park, B-1. Located behind the office, it is sheltered by a massive, old live oak. There is a lot on one side (B-2) but not on the other, which provides for a lot of privacy. Most of the other lots are back-ins in a large field. The view from our front window was of a pond with a fountain...beautiful!

Amenities: The wifi here was usable and we were able to get lots of local stations on broadcast air. But the best part about this place are the beautiful grounds. There are 5 lakes and a nature trail around one of them. Catch-and-release fishing is permitted (but no swimming). There is a swimming pool, though. 

Next to the pool is a playground.

There is a valley ball court, horseshoe pits, and lots of space available for outdoor activities. 

The laundry room is located in the same building as the office. 

The Club House has a nice sitting area with large screen TV, pool table, piano, games, books, etc.

There is also a pavilion that can accommodate larger groups.

There are also two popular venues for weddings, celebrations, corporate events, etc., The Mackey House and the Red Gate Barn. 

Both are quite a distance from the RV sites. Below are a couple of snaps of the Red Gate Barn; and, one of the many live oaks on  the property. 

What we loved about Red Gate were the animals we saw everyday when we went for a walk with our doggie, Sadie. Near the Red Barn are chickens and peacocks. 

Horses could be seen grazing in the paddock. They are used for trail rides that are offered here (instruction plus 90-minute riding time). Anyone can make reservations for them.

But, the goats were Sadie’s favorite! 

Cost: $297; $49.5/night

Management: Red Gate is a family owned and operated park located in a beautiful setting on 200 acres. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. A package of information is provided at check in with information about local attractions, historical sites, shopping, restaurants, healthcare and vet services, etc. When we left a day early (due to impending bad weather of Hurricane Florence), they even gave us a refund for the night. That is the first time any park has done that when we had to leave early. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and it is just a very-well managed park with loads of Southern charm. 

General Comments:  We loved this place, primarily because we had a very private, large site nestled under a huge live oak. Every evening we would take a long walk on the grounds with our dog, and was very peaceful, serene and pretty. We will definitely stay here again.
